INSULATEIO SUPFOBT FOB ELECTRICAL CONDUCTORS.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LOUIS Srnmnnnonn and GUY HILL, citizens of the United States, and residents, respectivel of the. boron h of Brooklyn, county of 'ings, city and tate of New York, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Insulated Supports for Electrical Conductors, of which the following is a specification.

Ourinvention relates particularl to insulated supports for mounting in uctance coils in radio apparatus.

One of the objects of our invention is to provide a mounting for the inductance coil which is constructed entirely of insulating material, but at the same time so constructed that the insulating studs or posts may be readily and easily fitted into place upon the main support, and also readily and easily removed from their normal position.

Other objects will appear hereinafter from the specification and claims.

Referring to the drawings, in which similar characters indicate the same parts in the several views:

.Figure 1 1s a plan view of one form of an insulated support embodying our inven:

away on 'tive of the supports one form shown in Fig. l'which is substantially similar to the support described in the application executed by us of even date for a atent on insulated supports for electrica conducgors, and another specific form shown in ig. 2.' I The insulating material used .in the construction of this invention maybe of any suitable material of that nature, but we prefer to use the insulating material which is known in the art as electrose.

Referring to Fig. 1 of the drawings, 20

is a disk or plate of solid electrose. 24 are projecting studs extending radially along Specification of Letters Patent.

the upper surface of the disk orplate. 1s another series of studs of different she or construction also projecting from tli: upper surface of the plate. 50 is the inductance coil which is preferably of ribbon shape, which is coiled into a spiral, and the edge-of the said coil is securely held in slots in the upper ends of the studs or ins as Wlll be more particularly hereina r re ferred to. v v Referring to Fig. 2, the insulated mount- 'ing'is in general, in the form of a. wheel.

The central or hub? portion 10 is secured to the outer or felly portion 11, b a series of radiall portions 12. T tion 11 is constructed of any suitable insulatlng material which is mechanically strong. The central or hub portion may also be made of the same material. ,The spoke portions 12 are secured to the cen- Patented June 1, 1920. Applicationflled'liovember 15,1917. Serial 110.202,!14.

arranged rods or spoke he outer ring or felly por tral portion by suitable screws 13 made' I preferably of insulating material, the re: spective ends of the spoke portions being secured to the hub and to the inner surface of the felly.

The spoke portions 12 may be either solid bars or plates of insulating material, or may be hollow tubes, which may be made of any suitable insulating material.

The particular structure which, we de-- sire to claim in this application consists in an insulating support and removable pins or studs of insulating material secured to the support, upon which is mounted the inductance coil 50.

Referring more particularly to Fig. 3, we

provide suitable holes 25 which preferably extend through the plate or support. The hole 25 is adapted to receive and have secured by a driving fit therein a shank 27 of a pin 28 of insulating material, the up-.

per'or head portion extending out over the hole at 29. s a means for easily removing or adjusting the portion of the pin 28 we may provide a hole 26 extending from the lower surface of the insulated plate to the bottom of the hole 25 for the purpose of providing a means by which a tool may be inserted to'drive the plug out of the socket 25. or adjust its positlon therein.

In the form shown in section in Fig. 4 the stud is soshaped that it fits tightly through a hole 33 in the surface of the hollow tube as by a force fit and is provided with a tenon 34 so as to fit in a hole 35 of small tended that all matter through holes provided above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

H avlng now described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a device of the kind described, a support of insulating material having a series of, smooth-walled apertures formed therein, a series of stlulshaving smooth faced s'hanks shaped to snugly fit the apertures in said support and being adapted to be inserted in said aperturesas a force fit, and

, an electrical conductor secured to said studs.

2. In a device of the kind described, a

support of insulating material having a series of smoothwalled apertures formed therein, a series of studs also of insulating material having smooth faced shanks shaped to snugly fit the apertures in said support and being adapted to be inserted by a driving fit in said apertures, and an electrical conductor secured to sai studs.

3. In a device of the class described, a support of insulating material having a series of smooth-walled apertures formed therein, a series of studs also of insulating.

material having shanks adapted to be secured by a driving fit into said insulating support, and an electrical conductor secured to said studs. y

4. In a device of the class describeld. a support of insulating material having a se- 7 ries of smooth-walled apertures formed therein, a series of studs also of insulating contained in theapertures in said support, and

a driving fit in said apertures.

material having substantially cylindrical rods having smooth-Walled cavities formed therein, studs of insulating material having smooth shanks adapted to be secured by a driving lit in the apertures in said rods, each of said studs having an enlarged upper portion with a kerf formed therein, an electri 'al conductor seated in the kerfs in said studs and means extending transversely through said studs to securely hold said conductor in the kert's in said studs substantially as set forth.

6. In a device of the kind described, a conductor support of insulatin material having a series of smooth-walled apertures formed therein; a series of studs having smooth faced shanks shaped to snugly lit the being adapt ed to be inserted in said apertures as a force fit.

7. In a device of the kind described, a conductor support of insulating material having a series of siuooth-\valled apertures formed therein, a series of studs also of insulating material having smooth 'taced shanks to snugly fit the apertures lll said support and being adapted to be inserted by In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands at the borough of Manhattan,

city and State oi New York, this third day of November, 1917.
